"Thank you all for your help here. When I go back I will be more informed of what I am looking for besides just a steam engine. I knew there would be gravesites and other relics out there. It was just to much for one day. There is always…"

"If you know where the old tub mill (there is a small dam and a round gear under water below it) on Injune Creek is, then as Mike says there is a trail to the tree almost directly across the manway going up a small wet branch. Just as you start up…"

"I missed the barn tree. Can you give me an idea where it is for the next time. We talked all the way there about how we concentrate so much looking down and not looking to the side so much. We said I bet we missed a lot. And not being to familiar we…"

About Me:

I love to explore. I am an avid photographer of nature and wildlife. I have studied these beautiful mountains and people here for almost 20 years. I had been visiting here for many years and just could not get enough. When husband and I married 15 years ago we honeymooned in Townsend. We said then we wanted to move here. We didn't know when or how we were going to pull it off. But 13 years later in 2010 we did it. We still study these mountains every chance we get. Talk to people, books, videos, photos. Whatever it takes. If it has history, I will find it.
